>> Rosemary: ON THIS TUESDAY
NIGHT THE FOREIGN AFFAIRS
MINISTER AND HER TEAM OF
NEGOTIATORS ARE IN WASHINGTON TO
SEE IF CANADA CAN MAKE A DEAL ON
NAFTA.
WITH JUST DAYS UNTIL DONALD
TRUMP IMPOSED DEADLINE, WHAT IS
AT STAKE IN THESE NEGOTIATIONS?
HOW DAIRY COULD SPOIL THEM.
AND THE DISPUTE OVER, WELL, HOW
TO RESOLVE DISPUTES.
WE'LL BREAK IT ALL DOWN.
>> Andrew: ALSO TONIGHT... WE
DIG INTO A CONTROVERSIAL AUTISM
THERAPY.
THERE'S NO SCIENCE TO SUPPORT
IT. IT CAN BE DANGEROUS.
SO WHY IS IT STILL AVAILABLE IN
CANADA?
>> Adrienne: AND THIS MAN SAYS
THAT HE GOT PTSD FROM MURDERING
A POLICE OFFICER.
WHY IS VETERANS' AFFAIRS PAYING
FOR HIS TREATMENT EVEN THOUGH
HE'S NOT A VETERAN?
>>> THIS IS "THE NATIONAL."
(*)
(*)
>> Rosemary: AFTER SITTING ON
THE SIDELINES OF THE NAFTA
NEGOTIATIONS FOR WEEKS, TONIGHT
CANADA IS FINALLY BACK IN THE
GAME, BUT THE CLOCK IS TICKING
DOWN AND FAST.
A DEAL HAS TO BE MADE BY THE END
OF THIS WEEK AND AS KATIE
SIMPSON EXPLAINS THAT'S WHY
CHRYSTIA FREELAND AND HER TEAM
DROPPED EVERYTHING TODAY AND
RUSHED TO D.C.
>> Reporter: NEVER BEFORE HAS
CANADA'S ARRIVAL AT NAFTA TALKS
BEEN SO CRITICAL OR SO CLOSELY
WATCHED.
THIS RETURN TO WASHINGTON MAY
JUST BE THE START OF THE FINAL
PUSH TO GET TO A THREE-WAY TRADE
DEAL.
>> The Hon. Chyrstia Freeland:
THIS IS REALLY GOING TO BE A
FULL STEAM AHEAD EFFORT WITH A
LOT OF GROUPS WORKING VERY
INTENSIVELY.
THIS IS A REALLY BIG DEAL.
>> Reporter: CANADIAN
NEGOTIATORS SPENT THE DAY
EXAMINING THE PRELIMINARY
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE U.S. AND
MEXICO ANNOUNCED HASTILY BY
DONALD TRUMP YESTERDAY.
AND THEY MUST FIGURE OUT IF THE
DEAL IS SOMETHING THAT CANADA
CAN WORK WITH.
THE FOREIGN AFFAIRS MINISTER
SUGGESTED IT'S POSSIBLE, GIVEN
PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS TO AUTO
SECTOR LABOUR STANDARDS.
>> The Hon. Chyrstia Freeland:
MEXICO WAS ABLE TO DO SOMETHING
THAT I THINK THAT MUST HAVE BEEN
QUITE DIFFICULT FOR MEXICO AND
MAKE THOSE CONCESSIONS.
IT DOES REALLY SET THE STAGE FOR
SOME PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS
FOR US HERE THIS WEEK.
>> Reporter: BUT SOURCES TELL
CBC NEWS CANADA IS WORRIED ABOUT
A DIFFERENT PROPOSED CHANGE TO
THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION SYSTEM.
THE PRELIMINARY PACT IS EXPECTED
TO WEAKEN WHAT'S KNOWN AS
"CHAPTER 19".
SOMETHING THAT CANADA HAS SAID
THAT IT WOULD NOT ACCEPT.
THERE'S ANOTHER BIG TENSION
POINT --
>> THERE'S A WORD THAT CANADA
HAS TROUBLE WITH.
IT'S "M-I-L-K," MILK.
ANYTHING TO DO WITH MILK AND
DAIRY, THEY'LL HAVE TO FIX THAT.
>> Reporter: DONALD TRUMP'S
MOST TRUSTED ADVISORS ARE
REPEATING HIS CALLS FOR
CANADA TO KILL THE DAIRY
REGULATION SYSTEM CALLED "SUPPLY
MANAGEMENT."
>> Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau: WE WILL ENGAGE IN A
POSITIVE AND CONSTRUCTIVE WAY AS
WE ALWAYS HAVE BEEN.
AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO
ULTIMATELY
SIGNING A DEAL AS LONG AS IT'S
GOOD FOR CANADA AND GOOD FOR
MIDDLE-CLASS CANADIANS.
>> Reporter: BUT IF CANADA
DOESN'T ACT QUICKLY THERE ARE
MORE
SUGGESTIONS THAT CANADA MAY GET
LEFT BEHIND.
>> WE HOPE THEY HAVE RESULTS SO
CANADA CAN BE PART.
IF THAT IS NOT THE CASE WE WOULD
BE READY TO MOVE FORWARD AND
THAT DOESN'T PRECLUDE -- THAT
DOESN'T PRECLUDE CANADA JOINING
IN FUTURE MOMENTS.
>> Reporter: SENIOR CANADIAN
OFFICIALS TELL ME THAT THERE'S A
REASONABLE CHANCE OF SUCCESS,
THAT SOME KIND OF DEAL CAN BE
REACHED BY FRIDAY.
IT APPEARS THAT NO TIME IS BEING
WASTED WITH THE CANADIANS
MEETING THE MEXICANS TONIGHT AND
THE INTENSIVE TALKS RESUMING
FIRST THING TOMORROW.
ROSIE?
>> Rosemary: OKAY, KATIE, SO A
LOT OF PEOPLE ARE WONDERING WHY
IS THERE A RUSH TO TRY TO GET
THIS DONE BY FRIDAY?
>> Reporter: THERE ARE TWO
POINTS TO THAT.
THE NEW MEXICAN PRESIDENT WANTS
THIS WRAPPED UP BEFORE HE TAKES
OFFICE ON DECEMBER 1st, AND IN
ORDER FOR THAT TO HAPPEN THE
U.S. CONGRESS MUST APPROVE ITS
90-DAY APPROVAL PROCESS.
FOR THAT THEY NEED THIS WRAPPED
UP BY THE
END OF THE WEEK.
>> Rosemary: KATIE, YOU'LL BE
ON THE STORY ALL WEEK.
THANK YOU.
LET'S TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT ONE
OF THE STICKING POINTS IN THOSE
TALKS -- DAIRY AND POULTRY,
PROTECTED IN THIS COUNTRY BY
SOMETHING THAT YOU HAVE HEARD
THE NAME, SUPPLY MANAGEMENT.
CANADA MANAGES OR CONTROLS THE
SUPPLY OF MILK, CHEESE, EGGS,
CHICKEN AND TURKEY AND IT LIMITS
FOREIGN IMPORTS LIKE U.S. DAIRY
WITH SOME PRETTY STEEP TARIFFS.
IT CONTROLS THE SUPPLY OF WHAT'S
AVAILABLE BUT FARMERS ALSO LIKE
IT BECAUSE IT PREVENTS CHEAPER
AMERICAN PRODUCTS FROM FLOODING
IN AND FORCING CANADIANS OUT OF
BUSINESS.
BUT DONALD TRUMP IS NO FAN OF
CANADIAN TARIFFS AND AS JAELA
BERNSTEIN TELLS US, DAIRY
FARMERS HERE ARE WORRIED THAT
THEIR JOB WILL BE
SACRIFICED TO APPEASE THE
PRESIDENT.
>> FARMING IS NICE, CHALLENGING,
IT'S HARD, FRUSTRATING
SOMETIMES.
SO WE DO MANY HOURS AND THEN,
AGAIN, WE DON'T TAKE THAT MUCH
OF A SALARY.
IF YOU'RE NOT MAKING MONEY
ANYMORE, WE'RE JUST ASKING FOR A
DECENT SALARY AND HAVING OUR
FAMILY FARMS.
>> Reporter: QUÉBEC DAIRY
FARMERS FEEL THEY'VE ALREADY
GIVEN UP ENOUGH FOR
INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN TWO
SEPARATE MAJOR TRADE AGREEMENTS,
ONE WITH EUROPE AND ONE WITH PACIFIC
NATIONS, CANADA AGREED TO OPEN
UP ITS
DAIRY MARKET SLIGHTLY.
SOME ESTIMATES THAT THE COST TO
FARMERS IS AS HIGH AS
$160 MILLION A YEAR.
NOW THEY'RE FEARFUL THAT NAFTA
WILL ALSO BE NEGOTIATED ON THEIR
BACKS SINCE THEIR WAY OF DOING
BUSINESS REMAINS IN THE
CROSSHAIRS OF THE AMERICAN
PRESIDENT.
>> President Donald Trump: YOU
KNOW, THEY HAVE TARIFFS OF
ALMOST 300% ON SOME OF OUR DAIRY
PRODUCTS, SO WE CAN'T HAVE THAT.
>> Reporter: THOSE WORDS
WEIGHED HEAVILY ON THE MINDS OF
QUÉBEC DAIRY FARMERS AT A UNION
MEETING TODAY.
>> I FEEL LIKE THERE'S A BIG
CLOUD ON TOP OF MY HEAD.
>> Reporter: WITH THE OTHER
TRADE DEALS, OTTAWA OFFERED
FINANCIAL
ASSISTANCE TO FARMERS HURT BY
THE CONCESSIONS.
BUT DAIRY FARMERS SAY THAT WITH
NAFTA THERE'S SO MUCH MORE AT
STAKE. >> IT HAS A HUGE IMPACT ON
CANADA IF WE LET GO OF SUPPLY
MANAGEMENT.
>> Reporter: PRIME MINISTER
JUSTIN TRUDEAU INSISTED TODAY
THAT HE'LL STAND BEHIND THE
DAIRY FARMERS.
>> Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau: MY POSITION HAS NOT
CHANGED.
WE WILL DEFEND SUPPLY
MANAGEMENT.
>> WE TRY TO BE POSITIVE AND NOT
PESSIMISTIC BUT WE'RE ALWAYS
AFRAID THAT WE'LL PAY AGAIN AND
I HOPE THAT IT'S NOT GOING TO BE
THE CASE.
>> Reporter: GERARD HOPES THAT
HIS
SONS WILL SOMEDAY TAKE OVER THE
FAMILY FARM BUT THEIR FUTURE ON
THIS LAND WILL BE DECIDED MORE
THAN 900 KILOMETRES AWAY IN
WASHINGTON THIS WEEK.
JAELA BERNSTIEN, CBC NEWS,
MONTREAL.
>> Rosemary: NOT JUST FARMERS
NERVOUSLY WATCHING WHAT HAPPENS
IN D.C. THIS WEEK, THAT'S
BECAUSE ANY CHANGES TO THE
24-YEAR-OLD NAFTA AGREEMENT WILL
BE IMPORTANT TO THE CANADIAN
ECONOMY.
HERE'S WHAT IS AT STAKE... SOME
$2 BILLION WORTH OF GOODS AND
SERVICES CROSS OUR BORDER DAILY.
THAT'S A BIG NUMBER.
OR PUT ANOTHER WAY... EVERY
MINUTE OF EVERY DAY MORE THAN
$1 MILLION OF TRADE CROSSES
BETWEEN THE U.S.-CANADA BORDER.
THE UNITED STATES IS, OF COURSE,
CANADA'S LARGEST TRADING
PARTNER.
IN FACT, 36 STATES COUNT CANADA
AS THEIR TOP CUSTOMER.
AND JUST TO HAMMER HOME THAT
POINT AGAIN, CANADA EXPORTS MORE
GOODS TO THE STATE OF MICHIGAN
THAN IT DOES TO THE ENTIRE
EUROPEAN UNION.
THE CANADIAN ECONOMY IS
MORE
INTEGRATED THAN EVER.
MILLIONS OF JOBS IN ALL THREE
COUNTRIES DEPEND ON THE SUCCESS
OF NAFTA.
THE GOVERNMENT ESTIMATES THAT
3.5 MILLION JOBS IN THIS COUNTRY
ARE SUPPORTED BY TRADE.
AND ONE STUDY SUGGESTS THAT
DISMANTLING THE DEAL WOULD COST
AS MANY AS 85,000 JOBS IN THE
FIRST YEAR ALONE.
AND BUSINESS INVESTMENT IN
CANADA WOULD PLUNGE BY
$3 BILLION.
(*)
>> Andrew: HERE'S WHAT ELSE
WE'RE WORKING ON TONIGHT ON "THE
NATIONAL"... WHY THE
CONSERVATIVES WANT TO CRACKDOWN
ON WHO AUTOMATICALLY GETS
CANADIAN CITIZENSHIP.
>> Adrienne: PLUS, A NEW
ROADSIDE TEST FOR CANNIBAS.
THERE'S ENOUGH TESTS ALREADY
ABOUT THE DEVICE THAT LAWYERS
ARE PREPPING THEIR DEFENCE.
>>> FIRST, A CONVICTED MURDERER
WHO SAYS THAT HE DEVELOPED PTSD
COMMITTING THE CRIME.
SO WHY IS THE GOVERNMENT FOOTING
THE BILL FOR HIS TREATMENT?
>>> CHRISTOPHER GARNIER DID NOT
SERVE A SINGLE DAY IN THE ARMED
FORCES.
HE IS, HOWEVER, SERVING A LIFE
SENTENCE FOR SECOND-DEGREE
MURDER.
STILL, VETERANS' AFFAIRS IS
PAYING FOR HIS PTSD TREATMENT.
TOM MURPHY EXPLAINS WHY.
>> Reporter: IT WAS A CASE
UNLIKE ANY OTHER THAT THIS
PROVINCE HAS SEEN...
A HALIFAX MAN MEETS AN OFF-DUTY
POLICE OFFICER IN A BAR.
HOURS LATER CATHERINE CAMPBELL
IS DEAD.
CHRISTOPHER GARNIER STRANGLED
HER, PUT HER BODY IN A COMPOST
BIN, ROLLED IT THROUGH TOWN, AND
DUMPED IT AT THE FOOT OF THE
MacDONALD BRIDGE.
IT DIDN'T TAKE THE JURY LONG TO
FIND GARNIER GUILTY.
>> ALL I WANT TO SAY IS THAT FOR
ALMOST 2 1/2 YEARS WE HAVE
SOUGHT JUSTICE FOR CATHERINE AND
TODAY WE FEEL THAT WE HAVE
JUSTICE FOR CATHERINE.
>> Reporter: NOW THIS.
WORD THAT VETERANS' AFFAIRS
CANADA IS PAYING FOR TREATMENT
FOR GARNIER WHO THE COURT
DECIDED ACQUIRED PTSD AS A
RESULT OF COMMITTING THE MURDER.
THE FAMILIES AREN'T SPEAKING BUT
IN A RECENT FACEBOOK POST
CAMPBELL'S AUNT SAYS THAT SHE'S
SICKENED BY THIS.
VETERANS' ADVOCATES ARE
SEETHING.
>> THERE'S OUTRAGE IN THE
VETERANS COMMUNITY ABOUT IT,
DEFINITELY.
TONNES OF OUTRAGE.
>> Reporter: HERE'S THE THING,
GARNIER NEVER SERVED, BUT HIS
FATHER IS A VETERAN.
AND SO THERE'S THIS FROM
VETERANS' AFFAIRS... "WHEN A MAN
OR WOMAN SERVES IN CANADA'S
ARMED FORCES OR THE RCMP, THEIR
WHOLE FAMILY SERVES WITH THEM.
COUNSELLING AND OTHER SERVICES
MAY BE PROVIDED IF IT'S
DETERMINED THAT IT MAY ASSIST
THE VETERANS IN ACHIEVING THEIR
REHABILITATION GOALS."
THE LOGIC GOES SOMETHING LIKE
THIS, IF HELPING CHRISTOPHER
GARNIER'S PTSD HELPS HIS FATHER,
THEN CHRISTOPHER GARNIER, EVEN
IF HE KILLED SOMEONE, GETS THE
TREATMENT.
SOME ARE CALLING THAT PERVERSE.
>> A LOT ARE VETERANS AND THE
STILL SERVING MEMBERS ARE STILL
SEEKING HELP FOR PTSD AND ARE
WAITING IN QUEUE BUT THIS FELLA
IS GETTING I GUESS YOU WOULD SAY
SPECIAL TREATMENT.
>> Reporter: NOT EXACTLY, SAYS
VETERANS AFFAIRS, ARGUING THAT
94% OF VETERANS WHO APPLY FOR
MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORTS ARE
APPROVED.
WHAT'S MORE, VETERANS AFFAIRS
SAY THEY ALSO SUPPORT OTHER
MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES INCLUDING
FAMILY AND MARITAL COUNSELLING
AND ACCESS TO SOCIAL WORK
SERVICES.
WHAT IRKS SOME IS THAT A
CONVICTED MURDERER IS GETTING
VETERANS SUPPORT AT ALL.
TOM MURPHY, CBC NEWS, HALIFAX.
>> Andrew: NOW TO A PRACTISE
KNOWN AS BIRTH TOURISM.
EXPECTANT MOTHERS TRAVEL TO
FOREIGN COUNTRIES TO HAVE A
CHILD.
BECAUSE IN SOME PLACESES,
INCLUDING CANADA, THAT NEW BABY
AUTOMATICALLY BECOMES A CITIZEN
JUST BY VIRTUE OF BEING BORN ON
CANADIAN SOIL.
AND, THEREBY, ENTITLED TO ALL OF
THE BENEFITS THAT COME WITH
BEING A CANADIAN.
IT'S ALL PERFECTLY LEGAL BUT THE
CONSERVATIVE PARTY WANTS IT TO
STOP. BRIAR STEWART TAKES A CLOSER
LOOK.
>> Reporter: AT THIS HOSPITAL
IN RICHMOND, B.C., MORE THAN ONE
IN FIVE OF ALL BABIES
DELIVERED LAST YEAR WERE BORN TO
MOTHERS THAT WEREN'T RESIDENTS
OF CANADA.
PART OF A BIRTH TOURISM INDUSTRY
THAT THE FEDERAL CONSERVATIVES
WANT TO CRACK DOWN ON.
>> WE SHOULD FIGHT FOR OUR OWN
BABIES!
>> Reporter: AT THE PARTY'S
CONVENTION, THE DELEGATES
ENDORSED A RESOLUTION TO SCRAP
THE LONG-STANDING POLICY OF
GIVING CITIZENSHIP TO EVERYONE
BORN HERE.
IT'S A STEP THAT A FORMER
IMMIGRATION OFFICIAL SAID WOULD
LIKELY GO TOO FAR.
>> IF YOU MAKE THE CHANGE THAT
WOULD ADVERSELY AFFECT ALL
CANADIANS.
IT WOULD MAKE IT MORE BURDENSOME
FOR THEM TO PROVIDE
IDENTIFICATION AND MORE COSTLY.
>> Reporter: BUT HE
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT BIRTH TOURISM
IS A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE
DEALT WITH.
EXPERTS SAY THERE ISN'T A GOOD
SENSE OF HOW BIG OF AN ISSUE
THAT BIRTH TOURISM IS IN CANADA
BECAUSE THE NUMBERS AREN'T
SPECIFICALLY TRACKED.
BUT IN B.C. IT'S ON THE
GOVERNMENT'S RADAR.
THERE'S REPORTEDLY MORE THAN TWO
DOZEN SO-CALLED BIRTHING HOUSES
THAT CATER TO FOREIGN MOTHERS IN
THIS PROVINCE.
THIS ONE IN RICHMOND ADVERTISES
EVERYTHING AN EXPECTANT MOTHER
NEEDS FROM ACCOMMODATION, MEALS
AND FREE BABY BIRTH CERTIFICATES
AND CANADIAN AND CHINESE
PASSPORT SERVICES.
A RESEARCHER WHO INTERVIEWED
SOME OF THE FOREIGN MOTHERS SAY
THAT MOST PLAN TO RAISE THEIR
BABIES BACK IN CHINA BUT THEY
DELIVER HERE TO GET A COVETED
CANADIAN PASSPORT FOR THEIR
CHILD.
>> SO THEY HAVE PAID THEIR OWN
MONEY FOR THE MEDICAL HEALTH AND
AFTER GIVING BIRTH THEY BROUGHT
THEIR CHILDREN TO GO BACK TO
CHINA IMMEDIATELY.
>> PART OF THAT VALUE SYSTEM...
>> Reporter: BUT GARY LIU SAYS
IT'S A MATTER OF STANDARDS.
>> BEING CANADIAN IS FOR CERTAIN
VALUES.
>> Reporter: HE'S BEHIND A
PETITION CALLING ON THE
GOVERNMENT TO USE THE LAWS
ALREADY IN PLACE.
>> AND LOOKING FOR LOCAL
BY-LAWS, LIKE, FOR EXAMPLE, IN
AN AREA YOU CANNOT HAVE A
BIRTHING HOTEL.
>> Reporter: BY DOING THAT HE
SAYS THAT THE OFFICIALS CAN
CRACKDOWN ON THE BIRTH TOURISM
INDUSTRY WITHOUT OPENING UP AN
ENTIRE DEBATE ABOUT WHO SHOULD
BE ELIGIBLE FOR CANADIAN
CITIZENSHIP.
BRIAR STEWART, CBC NEWS,
VANCOUVER.
>> Adrienne: LESS THAN TWO
MONTHS TO GO BEFORE CANADA'S
OFFICIAL LEGALIZATION OF
CANNIBAS.
AND AS THE DATE QUICKLY
APPROACHES
POLICE DEPARTMENTS ARE STILL
SCRAMBLING TO BE READY FOR IT.
JUST BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL BE FREE
TO USE RECREATIONAL WEED DOESN'T
MEAN THAT THEY CAN BREAK THE LAW
BY DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE.
AND THAT'S GOING TO MEAN
ROADSIDE DRUG TESTING.
BUT AS KATIE NICHOLSON REPORTS,
THERE ARE SOME REAL QUESTIONS
ABOUT THE PARTICULAR TESTING
DEVICE THAT CANADA HAS APPROVED.
(*)
>> THE DRÄGER 5000 ANALYSIS
SYSTEM...
>> Reporter: SLEEK AND
FUTURISTIC IT MAY LOOK LIKE A
KEURIG COFFEE MACHINE BUT THIS
IS THE FUTURE OF CANADIAN DRUG
TESTING.
>> THE DRÄGER 5000...
>> Reporter: THE DRÄGER 5000
TESTS SALIVA
FOR THE PRESENCE OF T.H.C. BUT A
NORWEGIAN STUDY FOUND THAT IT
HAS FALSE POSITIVES 15% OF THE
TIME AND IT DOESN'T WORK THAT
WELL IN THE COLD.
THERE ARE A LOT OF DEVICES OUT
THERE, SO WHY WAS THE DRAGER
5000 TO BE THE FIRST TO GET
CANADIAN APPROVAL?
THE CANADIAN SOCIETY FOR
FORENSIC SCIENCE THAT SETS THE
STANDARDS FOR SCIENCE IN LAW
ENFORCEMENT, RECOMMENDED THE
DRÄGEDRÄGER 5000 TO THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT BUT THE SOCIETY
WOULDN'T EXPLAIN WHY THEY CHOSE
THE DEVICE AND THAT WORRIES
DEFENCE LAWYER KYLA LEE.
>> THAT TELLS ME THAT THERE'S
SOMETHING IN THERE THAT WOULD
CAUSE US TO QUESTION THE
RELIABILITY OF THE DEVICE.
BECAUSE IF EVERYTHING THEY
TESTED IN IT SHOWED GREAT
RESULTS ALL THE TIME, THEY WOULD
BE EXCITED TO SHARE THAT WITH
THE PUBLIC.
>> Reporter: WHAT THE FORENSIC
SOCIETY DID SHARE WAS THE
GUIDELINES THEY CREATED IN
CHOOSING A DRUG TEST.
THAT IT SHOULD BE CAPABLE TO BE
OPERATED AT AN AMBIENT
TEMPERATURE RANGE OF AT LEAST 5%
CELSIUS TO 35° CELSIUS.
THAT'S NOT WHAT LAW ENFORCEMENT
WANTED.
PUBLIC SAFETY CANADA WORKING
WITH SEVEN DIFFERENT POLICE
FORCES SAID THAT THE NUMBER ONE
THING THAT POLICE WANTED IN A
DEVICE WAS A HIGH RELIABILITY IN
EXTREME COLD TEMPERATURES.
THE DRAGER'S IDEAL TEMPERATURE
RANGE?
PLUS 4° TO 40 CELSIUS.
THE POLICE ASSOCIATION IS
UNFAZED BY THE TEMPERATURE
LIMITATIONS.
>> AM I CONFIDENT THAT IT WILL
WORK OFF THE BAT?
OR AM I CONCERNED WHETHER OR NOT
THE TESTING WAS AS RIGOROUS AS
IT POSSIBLY COULD?
I THINK THAT YOU CAN ALWAYS FIND
ISSUES WITH ANY PIECE OF
EQUIPMENT LIKE THAT.
>> Reporter: PUBLIC SAFETY
CANADA SAYS THAT POLICE OFFICERS
WILL LEARN HOW TO KEEP THE
DRAGER UNIT AT THE IDEAL
OPERATING TEMPERATURE AS PART OF
THEIR TRAINING IN HOW TO USE THE
DEVICE.
KATIE NICHOLSON, CBC NEWS,
TORONTO.
>> Adrienne: SO CLEARLY
THERE'S SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT THE
TECHNOLOGY, BUT WHAT ABOUT
GETTING OFFENDERS INTO THE
COURTROOM AND PROSECUTING
DRUG-IMPAIRED DRIVING CASES?
WELL, IF DRUNK DRIVING
CONVICTION RATES ARE ANY
INDICATION THERE MIGHT BE SOME
TROUBLE AHEAD.
CANADA'S OVERALL CONVICTION RATE
IS RELATIVELY LOW, ABOUT 60% IN
2015.
ONTARIO WAS A BIT BETTER AT 65%.
BUT IN QUÉBEC IT WAS LESS THAN
HALF.
IN B.C., GET THIS, ONLY ABOUT A
QUARTER OF CHARGES STUCK.
NOW THAT'S PARTLY DUE TO THE
RISE OF A DRUNK DRIVING LEGAL
DEFENCE INDUSTRY.
ONE THAT CHALLENGES THE
RELIABILITY AND THE MAINTENANCE
OF ALCOHOL TESTING DEVICES.
AND AS WE JUST HEARD ROADSIDE
DRUG TESTING HAS SOME CHALLENGES
TOO.
CONSIDERING THAT T.H.C. REMAINS
DETECTABLE IN THE BODY MUCH
LONGER AFTER USE THAN ALCOHOL,
IT'S NOT HARD TO IMAGINE A TIDAL
WAVE OF COURT CHALLENGES.
IN FACT, A STATISTICS CANADA
REPORT SAYS THAT DRUG-IMPAIRED
DRIVING CASES ALREADY TAKE TWICE
AS LONG
TO PROSECUTE THAN DRINK DRIVING
ONES. >> Andrew: LOTS OF STORIES
THAT WE'RE TRACKING TONIGHT...
INCLUDING A MAJOR DEVELOPMENT IN
THE SHOOTING OF A GERMAN TOURIST
ON A HIGHWAY IN ALBERTA EARLIER
THIS MONTH.
>> A 16-YEAR-OLD MALE YOUTH WHO
WAS A RESIDENT OF THE STONEY
NAKODA FIRST NATION HAS BEEN
CHARGED WITH 14 CRIMINAL CODE
OFFENSES, INCLUDING ATTEMPTED
MURDER.
>> Andrew: NOW WE CAN'T
IDENTIFY THE SUSPECT BECAUSE OF
HIS AGE BUT HE DID APPEAR IN
COURT TODAY ACCUSED OF SHOOTING
A GERMAN TOURIST IN THE HEAD,
DRIVING WITH HIS FAMILY AT THE
TIME ABOUT AN HOUR WEST OF
CALGARY.
MOTIVE IS A BIG QUESTION MARK IN
THIS CASE.
POLICE DON'T THINK THAT THERE
WAS ANY KIND OF CONFLICT LEADING E IS A BIG QUESTION MARK IN
THIS CASE.
POLICE DON'T THINK THAT THERE
WAS ANY KIND OF CONFLICT LEADING
UP TO THE SHOOTING AND THEY
DON'T BELIEVE THAT THE SUSPECT
AND THE VICTIM KNEW EACH OTHER.
>>> PRIME MINISTER JUSTIN
TRUDEAU WANTS TO TAKE A CLOSER
LOOK AT IMPLEMENTING A FULL BAN
ON HANDGUNS AND ASSAULT WEAPONS
IN CANADA.
HE'S TASKED BILL BLAIR, HIS
MINISTER OF BORDER SECURITY AND
ORGANIZED CRIME REDUCTION, TO
LOOK INTO HOW THAT MIGHT WORK
WHILE STILL ALLOWING THE LAWFUL
USE OF FIREARMS.
AFTER LAST MONTH'S MASS SHOOTING
IN TORONTO'S GREEKTOWN, TRUDEAU
MADE A PROMISE TO ADDRESS THE
ISSUE OF GUN VIOLENCE.
>> AND I ENCOURAGE PUERTO RICANS
TO BIND TOGETHER TO MOURN...
>> Andrew: AND NEARLY A YEAR
AFTER PUERTO RICO WAS DEVASTATED
BY HURRICANE MARIA, OFFICIALS
NOW SAY THAT NEARLY 3,000 PEOPLE
DIED AS A RESULT OF THE STORM.
THAT'S A DRAMATIC INCREASE.
BEFORE TODAY THE OFFICIAL DEATH
TOLL STOOD AT 64.
RESEARCHERS WHO COMPILED THE NEW
DATA SAY THAT NUMBER WAS
INITIALLY SO LOW IN PART BECAUSE
DOCTORS DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO
CLASSIFY DEATH AFTER A DISASTER.
>> Adrienne: STILL AHEAD
TONIGHT ON "THE NATIONAL"...
PARENTS HAVE A LOT OF DECISIONS
TO MAKE ONCE A CHILD IS
DIAGNOSED WITH AUTISM.
WHY SOME ARE TURNING TO A
CONTROVERSIAL THERAPY THAT COULD
DO MORE HARM THAN GOOD.
>> Rosemary: PLUS, FOR YEARS
MAIL AND PACKAGES HAVE BEEN
PILING UP AT THE ISRAELI BORDER.
NOW IT'S UP TO THE PALESTINIAN
POSTAL WORKERS TO SORT THROUGH
IT. >> Andrew: AND THOUSANDS OF
BEES DECIDED TO MAKE A TIMES
SQUARE UMBRELLA HOME.
BUT, DON'T WORRY, THE NYPD
ACTUALLY HAVE A GUY FOR THAT.
WE'LL TELL YOU ALL ABOUT IT IN
OUR "MOMENT OF THE DAY."
>> RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF TOWN.
I MEAN, THEY CAN'T RE
(*)
>> Rosemary: MANY PEOPLE IN
THE WEST BANK ARE FINALLY
RECEIVING PACKAGES THAT WERE
SUPPOSED TO ARRIVE YEARS AGO.
ISRAELI AUTHORITIES HAVE
RELEASED PILES OF MAIL WHICH
HAVE BEEN HELD AT THE BORDER.
IT'S MEANT AS A GOODWILL GESTURE
FROM ISRAEL IN THE MIDST OF A
LONG-RUNNING BITTER CONFLICT.
OUR MIDDLE EAST CORRESPONDENT
DEREK STOFFEL WAS THERE AS
POSTAL WORKERS SORTED THROUGH
THE BACKLOG.
>> Reporter: IT WAS NEITHER
RAIN NOR SNOW THAT WAS
RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS MOUND OF
MAIL PILING UP IN A WAREHOUSE IN
JERICHO.
INSTEAD BLAME YET ANOTHER
DISAGREEMENT BETWEEN THE
PALESTINIANS AND ISRAEL, WHICH
OCCUPIES THE WEST BANK.
>> THEY CONTROL THE BORDERS.
WE WOULDN'T ALLOW ANYTHING TO
CROSS THE BORDERS WITHOUT THEIR
PERMISSION.
THEY CONTROL EVERYTHING.
>> Reporter: ISRAEL AGREED A
DECADE AGO TO GIVE THE
PALESTINIANS MORE CONTROL OVER
THEIR POSTAL SERVICES BUT IN
PRACTISE THAT'S BEEN SLOW TO
HAPPEN.
MEANING FOR YEARS PARCELS PILED
UP IN NEIGHBOURING JORDAN.
IN A STATEMENT TO CBC NEWS
ISRAELI AUTHORITIES SAY THAT ALL
OF THIS MAIL WAS RELEASED AS A
GESTURE IN A ONE-TIME AGREEMENT
A FEW WEEKS AGO.
NOW THE PALESTINIAN POSTAL
EMPLOYEES ARE WORKING OVERTIME
TO SORT THROUGH 10 TONNES OF
LETTERS AND PARCELS.
A LOT OF THESE PACKAGES CAME
FROM CHINA.
THERE ARE THINGS THAT
PALESTINIANS ORDERED ONLINE,
INCLUDING THIS TV THAT WAS
SUPPOSED TO BE DELIVERED SIX
YEARS AGO.
THE RECIPIENT OF THIS WHEELCHAIR
HAS BEEN WAITING YEARS FOR ITS
DELIVERY.
>> THIS ONE CAME FROM JORDAN...
>> Reporter: SOME OF THE
PACKAGES HERE WERE MAILED AS FAR
BACK AS 2010.
DOWN THE ROAD AT JERICHO'S MAIN
POST OFFICE... THE MANAGER MAKES
A CALL TO LET THE CUSTOMER KNOW
THAT HIS LETTER IS FINALLY READY
FOR PICKUP.
IT'S A JOYOUS MOMENT FOR SAÏD
BRIJAIM.
>> THIS IS FROM GREECE.
>> Reporter: HE STUDIED
ECONOMICS ON THE ISLAND OF
CRETE.
HE GRADUATED MORE THAN A YEAR
AGO AND HAS BEEN WAITING FOR THE
CERTIFICATE EVER SINCE.
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT TO YOU?
>> THIS IS MY DEGREE, YOU KNOW,
WE DO THIS FOR A LIVING AND IT'S
MY CAREER.
I MEAN, IT WAS FOR ME.
I SPENT ONE YEAR APART FROM MY
FAMILY TO GET IT.
>> Reporter: PALESTINIAN
OFFICIALS HAVE ACCUSED THE
ISRAELIS OF USING THE POST AS
ONE MORE METHOD OF EXERTING
CONTROL OVER THE PALESTINIAN
PEOPLE.
MILLIONS OF PALESTINIANS LIVE IN
OTHER COUNTRIES, INCLUDING
JORDAN AND LEBANON, AND STILL
RELY ON THE MAIL.
>> MOST PEOPLE SEND GIFTS TO
THEIR RELATIVES INSIDE OF
PALESTINE, AND MOST OF THE
PEOPLE INSIDE OF PALESTINE WANT
TO SEND POSTAL ITEMS TO THEIR
RELATIVES OUTSIDE OF PALESTINE.
SO THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.
>> Reporter: PALESTINE POST
HAS BROUGHT IN EXTRA WORKERS TO
CLEAR THE BACKLOG WHICH THEY
HOPE WILL HAPPEN IN THE NEXT
COUPLE WEEKS.
DEREK STOFFEL, CBC NEWS,

TONIGHT ON "THE NATIONAL"...
TRUMP TAKES AIM AT GOOGLE,
CLAIMING SEARCH RESULTS ONLY
SHOW BAD STORIES ABOUT HIM.

FUNDRAISING A SOLUTION TO
AMERICA'S EXPENSIVE HEALTH CARE
PROBLEM OR JUST A SIGN OF HOW
SICK THE SYSTEM REALLY IS?
>> WE KIND OF LIVE PRETTY OPEN
ABOUT EVERYTHING, BUT IT'S HARD
TO ADMIT THAT YOU NEED HELP.
IT'S HARD TO ADMIT THAT YOU
CAN'T DO EVERYTHING.

(*)
>> Andrew: TONIGHT ON "THE
NATIONAL," THE EVER EXPANDING
PROBLEM OF A GIANT SINKHOLE IN
OXFORD, NOVA SCOTIA.
SINCE OPENING UP IN A PARK JUST
OVER A WEEK AGO THIS HOLE HAS
GROWN TO BE MORE THAN 30 METRES
WIDE, SWALLOWING UP TREES AND
PICNIC TABLES.
EXPERTS HAVE BEEN CALLED IN TO
TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHY IT'S
HAPPENING BUT FOR NOW OFFICIALS
ARE SIMPLY WARNING THE PUBLIC TO
STAY AWAY.
[Cheers and Applause]
>>> AND ALSO TONIGHT AN UPDATE
ON CANADIAN TENNIS PLAYER FELIX
AUGER-ALIASSIME AFTER A HEALTH
SCARE AT THE U.S. OPEN.
THE 18-YEAR-OLD WAS FORCED TO
STOP YESTERDAY'S MATCH AGAINST
FELLOW CANADIAN DENIS SHAPOVALOV
AFTER EXPERIENCING HEART
PALPATATIONS.
ACCORDING TO TENNIS CANADA HE'S
DOING ALL RIGHT NOW AND
EVERYTHING IS BACK TO NORMAL BUT
THIS HAS HAPPENED TO HIM BEFORE.
HE REPORTEDLY THINKS THAT
YESTERDAY'S EPISODE WAS
TRIGGERED BY THE HEAT AND THE
STRESS.
HE'S EXPECTED TO TAKE A FEW DAYS
OFF FROM TRAINING.
>>> AND WESTJET AND AIR CANADA
ARE RAISING THEIR CHECKED BAG
FEES FOR PEOPLE
BUYING LOWEST FARE TICKETS.
THE COST OF THE FIRST BAG IS
GOING UP FROM $25 TO $30.
AND A SECOND CHECKED
BAG WILL COST $50, UP FROM $30.
THE NEW FEES ARE ALREADY IN
PLACE FOR SOME FLIGHTS BUT WILL
BE FULLY IMPLEMENTED BY BOTH
AIRS BY OCTOBER.
ONE OF THE REASONS THEY GIVE ARE
RISING FUEL PRICES.
>> Adrienne: FOR PARENTS
DESCRIEDING HOW TO
HELP A CHILD WITH AUTISM IS
OVERWHELMING.
NOT ALL CHOICES ARE PROVEN AND
SOME COULD BE HARMFUL.
TAKE CHELATION THERAPY, A
CONTROVERSIAL PRACTISE
WHERE METALS ARE REMOVED FROM A
CHILD'S BODY.
WHY IS IT STILL AVAILABLE IN
CANADA?
NICOLE IRELAND HAS A LOOK AT THE
NOT SO CLEAR REGULATIONS AROUND
IT.
>> Reporter: WHEN ANNE BORDEN
KING'S PEDIATRICIAN DIAGNOSED
HER SON, BAXTER, WITH AUTISM.
IT WAS A FRIGHTENING
CONVERSATION.
>> SHE TOOK A VERY SERIOUS TONE
AND SAID HE NEEDS VERY INTENSIVE
THERAPY.
WHEN THEY'RE YOUNG YOU HAVE TO
DO THIS, IT'S A SMALL WINDOW OF
TIME TO HELP YOUR CHILD.
>> Reporter: BORDEN KING SAYS
THAT FEAR DRIVES PARENTS TO TRY
ANY TREATMENT THEY CAN TO HELP
THEIR KIDS.
SHE AND HER HUSBAND WORKED WITH
THERAPISTS AND TEACHERS TO
IMPROVE BAXTER'S COMMUNICATION
AND MOTOR SKILLS AND HELPING HIM
TO LEARN THINGS LIKE BIKING AT
HIS OWN PACE.
SHE AND HER HUSBAND WORKED WITH
THERAPISTS AND TEACHERS TO
IMPROVE BAXTER'S COMMUNICATION
AND MOTOR SKILLS AND HELPING HIM
TO LEARN THINGS LIKE BIKING AT
HIS OWN PACE.
BUT WHEN BORDEN KING STARTED AN
ONLINE SELF-ADVOCACY GROUP FOR
PEOPLE WITH AUTISM SHE WAS
ALARMED TO LEARN THAT PARENTS
WERE TRYING LOTS OF UNPROVEN
INTERVENTIONS.
>> IT'S THIS WILD WEST, AS
SOMEONE PUT IT, WHERE THERE IS
NO LAW THAT SAYS THAT YOU CAN'T
DO THESE THINGS SUCH AS GIVING
-- THAT I KNOW OF -- SUCH AS
GIVING A CHILD CHELATION.
>> Reporter: CHELATION THERAPY
IS USED TO REMOVE METALS SUCH AS
LEAD OR MERCURY FROM THE BODY.
A DRUG IS GIVEN, OFTEN
INTRAVENOUSLY THAT GRABS THE
METALS, AND THE PATIENT EXCRETES
THEM OFTEN THROUGH THEIR URINE.
IT'S MEANT TO BE USED IF A
PERSON HAS METAL POISONING,
AFTER AN
INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENT, FOR
EXAMPLE.
AT ONE POINT SOME PEOPLE
BELIEVED THAT REMOVING HEAVY
METALS FROM THE BODY COULD TREAT
AUTISM AS THEORY AUTISM EXPERTS
NOW
AGREE HAS NO SCIENTIFIC MERIT.
SO WHEN BORDEN KING LEARNED THAT
A DOCTOR IN MARKHAM, ONTARIO,
WAS OFFERING CHELATION THERAPY
TO CHILDREN WITH AUTISM SHE
FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE
ONTARIO COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS
AND SURGEONS.
THE COLLEGE SAYS THEY
INVESTIGATED BUT FOUND NO
EVIDENCE THAT DR. JOHN GANNAGE
DID ANYTHING WRONG AND NOTED
THAT BORDEN KING HAD NEVER MET
DR.
GANNAGE PERSONALLY.
CBC CONFIRMS THAT HE OFFERS
CHELATION THERAPY TO A SMALL
NUMBER OF
CHILDREN WITH SEVERE AUTISM BUT
GETS FULL CONSENT FROM THE
PARENTS, INCLUDING CLEAR
COMMUNICATION THAT IS NOT
STANDARD PRACTISE.
"I HAVE NEVER HARMED A CHILD
WITH MY TREATMENTS," HE SAYS,
"YET BELIEVE THAT LEAVING BEHIND
DAMAGING TOXIC METAL BURDEN
WHEN I HAVE THE MEANS TO
INTERVENE, DURING A CRITICAL
WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY, IS
POTENTIALLY HARMFUL WITH
LONG-TERM NEGATIVE
CONSEQUENCES."
GANNAGE DID NOT RESPOND TO CBC
NEWS REQUESTS FOR AN INTERVIEW.
AND THEY SAY THEY HAVE NO
JURISDICTION OVER HOW DOCTORS
PRESCRIBE THEM.
THAT FALLS UNDER THE
COMPLEMENTARY AND THE
ALTERNATIVE MEDICAL POLICIES OF
THE PROVINCIAL COLLEGES OF
PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS.
ONTARIO'S POLICY SAYS THAT
DOCTORS' DECISIONS MUST BE
INFORMED BY EVIDENCE AND
SCIENCE.
>> CHELATION IS A TREATMENT
WHICH WE HAVE NO EVIDENCE OF
BENEFIT AND WE HAVE EVIDENCE OF
HARM.
>> Reporter: THIS NEUROLOGIST
SAYS THAT PARENTS OFTEN ASK
ABOUT ALTERNATIVE TREATMENTS AND
SHE'S FINE WITH THEM IF THEY'RE
USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH OTHER
PROVEN AUTISM INTERVENTIONS, BUT
SHE DRAWS THE LINE AT CHELATION
BECAUSE IT DISRUPTS MINERALS IN
THE BLOOD AND IT IS JUST TOO
DANGEROUS.
>> WE HAVE SEEN ANYTHING FROM
THIS CAUSING HEART ARRHYTHMIA SO
IRREGULAR HEART RHYTHM, TO
KIDNEY DAMAGE TO DAMAGE TO THE
HEART MUSCLE, OR ALL THE WAY TO
DEATH.
>> Reporter: ANNE BORDEN KING
ISN'T GIVING UP HER FIGHT.
SHE'S APPEALING THE COLLEGE OF
PHYSICIAN AND SURGEONS' DECISION
AND ADVOCATING FOR CLEARER
REGULATIONS GOVERNING WHAT
AUTISM TREATMENTS THAT
PHYSICIANS CAN AND CAN'T
RECOMMEND.
>> Adrienne: SO NICOLE IS WITH
US NOW.
IT'S INTERESTING, BEYOND THE
DEBATE OVER THE ETHICITY OF THIS
OR, IN FACT, WHETHER IT DOES ANY
HARM, I PRESUME THIS IS NOT A
FREE PROCEDURE?
>> Reporter: IT'S NOT, AND
LIKE WITH SO MANY ALTERNATIVE
THERAPIES NOT COVERED UNDER
BENEFIT PLANS AND NOT COVERED
UNDER GOVERNMENT INSURANCE
PLANS.
AND FAMILIES THAT HAVE CHILDREN
WITH AUTISM HAVE LIMITED
RESOURCES OFTEN.
SO THEY'RE INVESTING THIS MONEY
AND IT COULD BE HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN THIS
THERAPY THAT IS NOT PROVEN TO
WORK.
DOCTORS WORRY THEY'RE NOT
INVESTING MONEY IN OTHER
THERAPIES THAT DO WORK.
SO BEHAVIOURAL THERAPY,
COMMUNICATION THERAPY, GROUP
DYNAMICS, THOSE KIND OF THINGS.
AND THE OTHER THING THAT DOCTORS
WORRY ABOUT IS THE FACT THAT
PARENTS ARE INVESTING THEIR HOPE
INTO THESE UNPROVEN THERAPIES
AND THEY SAY THAT THERE'S EVERY
REASON TO HAVE HOPE.
THEY HAVE SEEN AMAZING SUCCESS
WITH SOME OF THESE PROVEN
THERAPIES, AGAIN, BEHAVIOURAL,
SPEECH, AND THOSE KIND OF
THINGS.
THERE'S EVERY REASON TO BE
HOPEFUL THAT CHILDREN CAN GO ON
TO DEVELOP AND TO LIVE
FULL LIFE.
A
>> Adrienne: OKAY, NICOLE
IRELAND, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> Reporter: THANK YOU.
>> Rosemary: FOR PEOPLE ON THE
AUTISM SPECTRUM FINDING
MEANINGFUL EMPLOYMENT CAN ALSO
BE A CHALLENGE.
LAST YEAR
WE VISITED A COMPANY THAT HAD
GOALS FOR PROVIDING JOBS FOR
PEOPLE WITH AUTISM.
AS IOANNA ROUMELIOTIS FOUND OUT,
BUSINESS IS BOOMING.
>> Reporter: HERE AT THE
RISING TIDE CARWASH IN FORT
LAUDERDALE, DETAILS ARE
EVERYTHING.
SUPERVISOR MATT IS A STICKLER
FOR IT.
>> HELP ME TO DRY DOWN THE CAR.
>> Reporter: EVERY WATER DROP
AND EVERY SOAP SPOT HAS TO BE
WIPED PERFECTLY CLEAN.
>> USE A BIT OF SOAP OVER HERE
AND A BIT OVER HERE.
>> Reporter: ON SATURDAYS,
MATT COMES IN THREE HOURS EARLY
JUST BECAUSE.
THREE HOURS EARLY?
>> UM-HMM.
>> Reporter: THAT'S DEDICATED.
>> IT'S PERFECT.
>> Reporter: MAKES YOU HAPPY?
>> YEP.
I AM MAKING SURE THAT EVERYONE
IS DOING WELL IN THE BUSINESS
AND WE HELP EACH OTHER OUT.
>> Reporter: THIS IS NO
ORDINARY CAR WASH.
IT'S A LABOUR OF LOVE WITH A
LABOUR FORCE THAT IS GIVING THIS
PLACE AN INCREDIBLE ADVANTAGE.
80% OF EVERYONE WHO WORKS HERE
IS ON THE AUTISM SPECTRUM.
OVERLOOKED AND CONSIDERED
UNEMPLOYABLE BEFORE, THEIR
SUCCESS NOW IS LINKED TO RISING
TIDES.
TOM DAIRY IS THE OWNER.
>> FOR MOST OF OUR EMPLOYEES
THIS IS THEIR FIRST JOB.
MOST OF OUR EMPLOYEES WOULD BE
SITTING AT HOME, PROBABLY
PLAYING VIDEO GAMES, PROBABLY
NOT HAVING A WHOLE LOT OF
FRIENDS.
ALL THE WAY AROUND THAT WINDOW,
DUDE.
>> Reporter: TOM DOESN'T JUST
KNOW THIS, HE'S LIVED IT.
>> THERE WE GO.
THAT'S A GOOD WINDOW.
>> Reporter: YOU SEE THE
INSPIRATION FOR RISING TIDE, TO
PROVIDE EMPLOYMENT FOR PEOPLE ON
THE SPECTRUM CAME FROM TOM'S
BROTHER, ANDREW.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT GETTING UP
IN THE MORNING AND HAVING A JOB
TO GO TO?
>> GETTING UP IN THE MORNING?
KIND OF EXHAUSTING.
>> Reporter: THAT PART YOU
DON'T LIKE SO MUCH.
>> Reporter: THE DAIRY FAMILY
BOUGHT THE CAR WASH TO GIVE
ANDREW AND PEOPLE LIKE HIM A
JOB.
>> PEOPLE WITH AUTISM ARE
EXCEPTIONALLY CAPABLE.
THE ONLY REASON THAT THERE'S
SUCH HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT WITH
PEOPLE WITH AUTISM IS BECAUSE WE
AS A SOCIETY LOOK AT AUTISM AS A
DISABILITY THAT REQUIRES SYSTEM
ATHRATHER THAN A DIVERSITY.
SO WE WANTED TO PROVE THE CASE
THAT
PEOPLE WITH AUTISM HAVE A LOT TO
BRING TO THE TABLE.
SO WE WANTED TO BUILD A BRAND
AND A BUSINESS AROUND THEIR
POSSIBILITIES.
>> Reporter: AND THE PROFITS
ARE SOARING.
WHEN THE DAIRIES BOUGHT THE
BUSINESS FOUR YEARS AGO IT WAS
SERVICING 35,000 CARS A YEAR.
NOW IT'S UP TO 160,000.
PROVING THE DAIRIES' POINT THAT
AUTISTIC ADULTS NEED JOBS.
>> WE'RE TRYING TO ESSENTIALLY
BLOW THAT UP AND SAY, YES, WHEN
PEOPLE WITH AUTISM ARE YOUNG
THERE ARE HURDLES THEY HAVE TO
GO OVER JUST LIKE ALL OF US BUT
MANY OF THEM WORK SUPER HARD TO
OVERCOME THOSE THINGS AND
THEY'RE READY TO BE REALLY
CAPABLE PEOPLE IN THE WORKFORCE
WHEN THEY BECOME ADULTS.
AND IF WE'RE OVERLY BRAZEN ABOUT
HOW AWESOME THEY ARE, IT'S JUST
BECAUSE WE GET TO WORK WITH THEM
EVERY DAY AND WE GET TO SEE IT.
YOU WILL WORK WITH JONATHAN,
ALL RIGHT?
>> Reporter: I KNOW THAT HE'S
YOUR BROTHER BUT, ANDREW, HOW DO
YOU THINK THAT YOU'RE DOING?
>> I'M DOING GREAT.
>> Reporter: YEAH?
ARE YOU LIKE A VALUED EMPLOYEE?
>> I'M A VALUABLE EMPLOYEE.
>> Reporter: WHAT MAKES YOU
GOOD?
>> I DO THE PROCESS VERY GREAT.
>> Reporter: WHAT ELSE?
>> AND I EARN MONEY.
>> Reporter: HOW DO YOU FEEL
ABOUT THAT?
>> I FEEL GREAT FOR THAT.
>> Reporter: BUSINESS IS DOING
SO WELL THAT THE DAIRIES ARE NOW
OPENING UP A SECOND LOCATION.
THEY HAVEN'T EVEN POSTED ANY
JOBS AND HAVE GOTTEN MORE THAN
700 CALLS FROM POTENTIAL
APPLICANTS.
ALL OF THEM WITH THAT ONE
SPECIFIC QUALIFICATION -- THE
AUTISM ADVANTAGE.
IOANNA ROUMELIOTIS, CBC NEWS,
FORT LAUDERDALE.
>> Andrew: STILL AHEAD ON "THE
NATIONAL"... THE AMERICANS
TURNING TO CROWDFUNDING TO
SETTLE MEDICAL BILLS AND WHAT IT
MEANS FOR THE OVERALL HEALTH OF
THE COUNTRY.
>>> FIRST, A TRIBUTE TO A QUEEN.
ARETHA FRANKLIN WAS BORN IN
MEMPHIS BUT LIVED AND DIED IN
DETROIT AND TODAY THOUSANDS OF
PEOPLE DESCENDED ON HER HOMETOWN
TO PAY THEIR LAST RESPECTS.
(*)
* LOVE YOU
>> Andrew: THEY STARTED
ARRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
NIGHT.
>> SHE CARED FOR THE PEOPLE SO
THE PEOPLE ARE HERE JUST TO SAY
THANK YOU.
(*)
>> Andrew: AND BY THE TIME
THAT THE SUN ROSE OVER DETROIT,
FANS FROM AS FAR AWAY AS LAS
VEGAS AND MIAMI WERE LINED UP
AROUND THE BLOCK.
>> SHE'S BEEN PUTTING HER LOVE
INTO PEOPLE FOR MORE THAN 60
YEARS AND THIS IS THE RESULT.
>> Andrew: FRANKLIN'S
GOLD-PLATED CASKET WAS WHEELED
INTO THIS AFRICAN AMERICAN
HISTORY MUSEUM, A NOD TO THE
WEIGHT HER VOICE CARRIED.
>> WHEN I SAW THEM CARRYING THAT
CASKET IN I JUST GOT CHILLS.
I GOT SO NERVOUS AND SO WEAK
THAT I COULDN'T EVEN TAKE THE
PICTURE.
IT WAS JUST AWESOME.
>> Andrew: INSIDE FRANKLIN'S
OWN GOSPEL MUSIC PLAYED ON.
HER CASKET, LIKE HER LEGACY,
LAID OPEN.
>> TO EVEN LAY EYES ON HER LIKE
THAT, IT HELPED ME OUT A LOT,
YOU KNOW, BECAUSE IT'S PART OF
DETROIT HISTORY.
>> I WANTED TO THANK HER FOR HER
LEGACY AND FOR HER CONTRIBUTIONS
TO CIVIL RIGHTS.
>> Andrew: PEOPLE HAVE UNTIL
TOMORROW NIGHT TO SAY THEIR
PERSONAL GOODBYES TO THE QUEEN
OF SOUL.
A STAR-STUDDED PUBLIC FUNERAL
FIT FOR ROYALTY IS SET FOR THIS
FRIDAY.
(*)
>> THERE ARE THOUSANDS AND
THOUSANDS OF CAMPAIGNS AT THIS
POINT AND SO MANY COMPELLING,
TRAGIC STORIES THAT IT IS
OVERWHELMING.
>> Andrew: IMAGINE HAVING TO
RELY ON THE KINDNESS OF
STRANGERS JUST TO PAY YOUR
MEDICAL BILLS.
A GROWING NUMBER OF SICK
AMERICANS ARE NOW RESORTING TO
ONLINE CROWDFUNDING CAMPAIGNS
JUST TO STAY AFLOAT.
EARLIER THIS YEAR WE BROUGHT YOU
THE STORY OF A NEW YORK COUPLE
GOING THROUGH THIS VERY DILEMMA.
A LIVER TRANSPLANT PUT ANDY
BRATTAIN'S HEALTH UNDER
STRAIN AND INTO DEEP DEBT.
WE LOOK AT HOW THEY WENT PUBLIC
TO CLAW THEIR WAY OUT AND WHAT
STORIES LIKE THEIRS MEAN FOR THE
COUNTRY AS A WHOLE.
STEVEN D'SOUZA HAS THE STORY.
>> A LITTLE EXTRA PROTEIN.
>> Reporter: ONE MONTH AFTER
HIS KIDNEY TRANSPLANT, ANDY
BRATTAIN CAN'T TAKE ANY CHANCES
WITH HIS BREAKFAST.
HE HAS A LONG LIST OF FOODS THAT
COULD HURT HIS RECOVERY.
>> THE FEAR IS BACTERIA, BECAUSE
PART OF MY IMMUNE SYSTEM IS SO
LOW AND THEY'RE SUPPRESSING PART
OF IT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE
LIVER DOESN'T GET REJECTED.
9:15.
>> SET ALARM.
TAKE MEDS, 9:15.
>> Reporter: HE HAS TO KEEP A
STRICT SCHEDULE.
>> THERE'S THE SECONDARY PILL
ALARM.
IN CASE THE FIRST ONE DOESN'T
GO.
TAKE PILLS.
WITH FLASHING LIGHTS AND
EVERYTHING.
>> SO THIS IS MY CALCIUM... THIS
IS MY ANTI-REJECTION MEDS.
>> Reporter: IF THAT WASN'T
HARD ENOUGH TO SWALLOW, AFTER
THE PILLS COMES THE BILLS.
THERE'S A SEEMINGLY ENDLESS
STREAM OF THEM, AND EVEN WITH
DECENT
INSURANCE HE AND HIS HUSBAND,
MATTHEW, HAVE FOUND THEMSELVES
IN A HOLE.
>> SO THEY PAID $10,000 OF THE
$13,000.
>> Reporter: IN THE DAYS AFTER
HIS SURGERY WITH THE REALITY OF
HOW EXPENSIVE IT IS TO GET SICK
IN AMERICA SETTING IN, ANDY'S
FRIENDS CONVINCED THE COUPLE TO
TURN TO THE CROWD FOR HELP.
THEY CREATED A GOFUNDME PAGE.
THEY PUT ANDY'S STORY ONLINE AND
SPREAD THE WORD TO FAMILY AND
FRIENDS.
THEIR INITIAL GOAL WAS $10,000.
>> WE KIND OF LIVE PRETTY OPEN
ABOUT EVERYTHING, BUT IT'S HARD
TO ADMIT THAT YOU NEED HELP.
IT'S HARD TO ADMIT THAT YOU
CAN'T DO EVERYTHING.
>> Reporter: HE'S NOT THE ONLY
ONE WHO HAS FELT THEY HAD
NOWHERE ELSE TO GO.
THE LAST FEW YEARS HAS SEEN AN
EXPLOSION OF CAMPAIGNS TO
CROWDFUND MEDICAL EXPENSES.
EVERYTHING FROM MAJOR SURGERIES
TO EXPERIMENTAL DRUGS TO
EVERYDAY MEDICATIONS.
THE MAJORITY END UP ON GOFUNDME
WHICH TOUTS ITSELF AS A DIGITAL
SAFETY NET.
THE SITE SAYS MORE THAN A THIRD
OF THE MONEY RAISED IN 2017 WENT
TO MEDICAL CAMPAIGNS.
BUT BECAUSE USERS DON'T ALWAYS
FILE HEALTH CARE CAMPAIGNS IN
THE MEDICAL CATEGORY
THEY ADMIT THAT NUMBER IS
PROBABLY HIGHER.
IN FACT, THE 2016 STUDY FOUND
THAT $930 MILLION OF THE
$2 BILLION THAT GOFUNDME HAD
RAISED SINCE 2010 WENT TO
MEDICAL
CAMPAIGNS.
THE C.E.O. OF GOFUNDME TOLD US
THAT I THINK IN A PERFECT WORLD
GOFUNDME WOULDN'T BE NECESSARY.
BUT IN THE IMPERFECT WORLD IN
WHICH WE LIVE YOU HAVE TO HAVE
SOMETHING.
HE SAYS IT'S A SYMPTOM OF A SICK
SYSTEM.
WHERE 47% OF AMERICANS SAID THEY
COULDN'T FIND $400 FOR AN
EMERGENCY.
>> THE POTENTIAL CAMPAIGNS THAT
ARE MEANT TO GIVE YOU HOPE...
>> Reporter: BUT THIS
IS A SUITABLE CRUTCH FOR A
HOBBLED SYSTEM?
SHE HAS BEEN STUDYING MEDICAL
CAMPAIGNS.
>> THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE SEE
AS A CANARY IN A COAL MINE.
>> Reporter: SHE SAYS IN U.S.
STATES WHERE THE
GOVERNMENT DIDN'T EXPAND
MEDICARE THEY FOUND AN INCREASE
OF PEOPLE LOOKING FOR ONLINE
DONATIONS.
>> I DON'T THINK THAT THE
GENERAL PUBLIC IS REALLY
THINKING ABOUT HOW MEDICAL
CROWDFUNDING IS SIGNALLING MORE
OF A PROBLEM THAN IT IS A
SOLUTION.
>> Reporter: THEY ALSO FOUND
THAT IT'S A SYSTEM WHERE THOSE
IN THE MOST NEED DON'T ALWAYS
GET THE MOST HELP.
WINNING CAMPAIGNS ARE THOSE WHO
CAN MARKET THE BEST OR ARE LUCKY
ENOUGH TO GO VIRAL.
>> THERE ARE THOUSANDS AND
THOUSANDS OF CAMPAIGNS AT THIS
POINT AND SO MANY COMPELLING,
TRAGIC STORIES, THAT IT IS
OVERWHELMING.
>> Reporter: PHOTOS OF A
HEALTHY SUBJECT, A GOOD HASHTAG,
THOSE ALL HELP.
SO TOO DOES HAVING A CURABLE
ILLNESS.
>> TO PUT IT IN A REALLY CRUDE
WAY, SO THAT THE POSSIBLE DONORS
FEEL THAT THEY'RE GETTING A
RETURN ON THEIR INVESTMENT.
>> Reporter: IN A VANCOUVER
OFFICE OF CROWDFUNDING SITE
FUNDRAISER C.E.O. DARRELL HADDEN
SEES THAT
UNFOLD ON A DAILY BASIS.
HE SAYS THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE
MEDICAL CAMPAIGNS ON HIS SITE
ARE AMERICAN.
CANADIANS ARE THERE TOO, BUT
MOSTLY FOR THINGS NOT COVERED BY
GOVERNMENT HEALTH CARE.
HE SAYS THAT A FEW CAMPAIGNS
THAT ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO GO
VIRAL SKEW EXPECTATIONS FOR
EVERYONE ELSE.
>> ONLY IF YOUR STORY IS REALLY
COMPELLING AND IT GETS SOME
MEDIA COVERAGE DOES IT GO BEYOND
FRIENDS OR FRIENDS OF THEM, OUT
INTO A BROADER MARKETPLACE.
SO IT IS REALLY UNREALISTIC TO
EXPECT THAT HIGH LEVEL OF
FUNDING TO HAPPEN.
>> Reporter: BERLINER FOUND
THAT 90% OF THE CASES THEY
STUDIED DIDN'T
REACH THEIR GOAL AND ABOUT 10%
RAISED LESS THAN $100.
HADDEN SAYS THAT THE GROWTH
CAN'T BE
SUSTAINED, AND EVENTUALLY DONOR
FATIGUE WILL SET IN.
>> THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH THAT WE
CAN SUPPORT FRIENDS AND FAMILY
WITH KIND OF CROWD INSURANCE
AROUND OUR HEALTH CARE.
REALLY THERE'S GOT TO BE MORE
SYSTEMIC WAYS TO DEAL WITH THAT.
>> $16 RKSZ 445.
>> Reporter: ANDY AND MATT ARE
AMONG THE LUCKY ONES.
THEY REACHED THEIR $10,000 GOAL
WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND
CONNECTIONS IN THE NEW YORK
THEATRE SCENE.
MATT'S COMPANY ALSO PROMISED TO
MATCH ANY DONATIONS BY HIS
CO-WORKERS.
THEY HAVE NOW RAISED THEIR GOAL
TO $30,000.
>> THE OUTPOURING HAS BEEN
AMAZING.
>> Reporter: HOW DOES IT MAKE
YOU FEEL?
>> REALLY LOVED AND REALLY
APPRECIATED.
AND THANKFUL.
>> Reporter: JUST AS IMPORTANT
AS THE MONEY HE SAYS THAT THE
WORDS AND THE THOUGHTS SHARED
THROUGH THE SITE HAVE GIVEN HIM
STRENGTH, SOMETHING HE THINKS
MORE AND MORE AMERICANS NEED TO
TURN TO IN YEARS AHEAD.
STEVEN D'SOUZA, CBC NEWS, NEW
YORK.
>> Andrew: EARLIER THIS SUMMER
WE CHECKED IN ON BRATTAIN, HE
SAID THAT HE'S DOING VERY WELL,
THAT HIS BODY SEEMS TO BE
ACCEPTING THE NEW LIVER.
HE'S ALSO HAPPY TO REPORT THAT
HE'S DEBT FREE AND HE SENT US
THIS. I'M NOT SURE WHERE THAT IS BUT
IT LOOKS LIKE HE AND HIS HUSBAND
MATTHEW HAVE HAD A PRETTY DECENT
SUMMER.
>> Rosemary: COMING UP NEXT ON
"THE NATIONAL," WE HEAD TO NEW
YORK FOR OUR "MOMENT OF THE
DAY."
>>> FIRST, U.S. PRESIDENT DONALD
TRUMP FLOATED A NEW THEORY
TODAY.
THIS TIME HE TARGETED GOOGLE AND
ACCUSING THE WORLD'S LARGEST
SEARCH ENGINE OF SKEWING ITS
RESULTS.
>> President Donald Trump: I
THINK THAT GOOGLE IS REALLY
TAKING ADVANTAGE OF A LOT OF
PEOPLE.
I THINK THAT IS A VERY SERIOUS
THING AND IT'S A VERY SERIOUS
CHARGE.
>> Rosemary: TRUMP'S BEEF?
THAT GOOGLE IS MOSTLY SHOWING
UNFAVOURABLE NEWS ABOUT HIM.
HE TWEETED THIS VERY EARLY THIS
MORNING ON...
"GOOGLE SEARCH RESULTS FOR
"TRUMP NEWS" SHOWS ONLY THE
VIEWING/REPORTING OF FAKE NEWS
MEDIA.
IN OTHER WORDS THEY HAVE IT
RIGGED
FOR ME AND OTHERS, SO THAT
ALMOST ALL STORIES AND NEWS IS
BAD." >> President Donald Trump:
THEY'RE REALLY TREADING ON VERY,
VERY TERRIBLE TERRITORY AND THEY
HAVE TO BE CAREFUL.
IT'S NOT FAIR TO LARGE PORTIONS
OF THE POPULATION.
>> Rosemary: IT'S TRUE, A LOT
OF STORIES ABOUT TRUMP ARE
NEGATIVE, BUT IT'S ALSO KIND OF
HARD TO PUT A GOOD SPIN ON THE
CONVICTION OF PAUL MANAFORT, THE
GUILTY PLEA OF MICHAEL COHEN OR
TRUMP CALLING OMAROSA NEWMAN "A
DOG."
THEY SAID TODAY THAT WHEN USERS
TYPE QUERIES INTO THE GOOGLE SEARCH
BAR, OUR GOAL IS TO MAKE SURE
THEY RECEIVE THE MOST RELEVANT
ANSWERS IN A MATTER OF SECONDS.
SEARCH IS NOT USED TO SET A
POLITICAL AGENDA AND WE DON'T
BIAS OUR RESULTS TOWARDS ANY
POLITICAL IDEOLOGY.
IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE TOP
GOOGLE SEARCH RESULTS FOR TRUMP
TODAY HAD FOX NEWS NEAR THE TOP,
WHICH SEEMED TO UNDERMINE HIS
CLAIMS OF SUPPRESSION.
>> Rosemary: ON A NORMAL DAY,
TIMES SQUARE IS A BUSY TOURIST
ATTRACTION, THERE'S FLASHING
BILLBOARDS, HUGE CROWDS, PEOPLE
PERFORMING IN THE STREETS.
BUT AS YOU CAN SEE THERE BY THAT
PICTURE, TODAY WASN'T NORMAL
THANKS TO ONE ATTRACTION YOU
WILL NOT FIND IN A GUIDE BOOK.
A SWARM OF BEES TURNED A HOT DOG
STAND UMBRELLA INTO THEIR HIVE.
NYPD DISPATCHED THEIR BEEKEEPER
TO VACUUM UP THE BEES AND THAT
GOT PEOPLE BUZZING.
IT'S OUR "MOMENT OF THE DAY."
>> IT'S THE CRAZIEST THING I'VE
SEEN AND I'M ALLERGIC TO BEES.
>> THERE WAS AN ANNOUNCEMENT
OVER THE P.A.
THEY SAID, 43rd AND 7TH IS SHUT
DOWN DUE TO A SWARM OF BEES.
>> IT'S SCARY.
IT'S IN THE MIDDLE OF TOWN.
>> IT'S FANTASTIC, IN AN
ATMOSPHERE LIKE THIS.
>> THE BEES WERE OUT THERE FOR
LIKE 40 MINUTES BEFORE SOMEONE
CAME TO VACUUM THEM UP.
>> THEY CAN'T REALLY PRODUCE ANY
HONEY THERE, SO WE'RE IN
TROUBLE.
>> I WILL KEEP MY DISTANCE.
>> IT WAS A GIANT SWARM ON THE
UMBRELLA, BUT APPARENTLY, A FEW
PEOPLE WENT OUTSIDE TO LOOK AT
IT. THERE WERE BEES EVERYWHERE ON
THAT STREET.
>> Rosemary: THE HORROR.
THE POLICE ESTIMATE THERE WERE
25,000 BEES OUT THERE.
AND TIMES SQUARE LOOKS BIG, BUT
IT'S ACTUALLY PRETTY
CONCENTRATED.
>> Adrienne: IT'S THE HONEY
MUSTARD FOR THE HOT DOGS THAT
DID IT.
WE KNOW THAT.
THERE'S AN NYPD PATCH ON THAT
BEEKEEPER'S JACKET.
DO THEY HAVE A PATCH AND UNIFORM
FOR EVERYTHING?
THERE ARE APPARENTLY TWO
BEEKEEPERS IN THE NEW YORK
POLICE DEPARTMENT.
THEY HAVE THEIR OWN TWITTER
ACCOUNT.
NOW THEY HAVE MANY MORE
FOLLOWERS, INCLUDING ME.
[LAUGHTER]
>> Andrew: I'M ALLERGIC TO BEES,
TOO, SO I FIND IT ALL
TERRIFYING.
>> Rosemary: OH, NO.
>> Adrienne: THERE'S A DOWNER.
>> Rosemary: HAVE A GOOD SLEEP
TONIGHT.
>> Andrew: THAT'S "THE NATIONAL"
FOR THIS AUGUST 28.
GOOD NIGHT.
>> Rosemary: GOOD NIGHT.
